Lucky Islands Solos Guide
Guide is best viewed in dark mode
(Updated March 5 2024)
Lucky island solos is an official cubecraft game mode based off of the lucky blocks mod and skywars. A number of players, typically 12, fight to the death on a map consisting of independent floating islands scattered with lucky blocks, which can give players resources or cause other random outcomes when broken. The last player alive is the winner. When only two players are alive, they are each given a compass. Players who purchase the lucky islands rank can vote for the game mode prior to the start of a match, and all players can choose a kit to start off with some items. This is a guide dedicated to the bedrock version of lucky islands solos. Areas marked with “to be added” or “TBA” are unfinished and will be added later on.

Drop location key:
The @ symbol indicates where a lucky block generates or drop its outcomes. @p indicates the outcome happens at the players location. @b indicates something happens relative to the location where the lucky block was broken. Some outcomes happen above the players location. @p+nY indicates the outcome happens n blocks above the player. If the drop doesn’t use the @ symbol to indicate location, assume the outcome happens at the location the lucky block is broken. This is only relevant to lucky block loot tables.

This is my guide for lucky island solos maps. While reading this, keep in mind that I am a leaderboard player and my goal is to win consistently, and quickly. I will describe the early game in the most detail and get progressively more vague, as the longer a game goes on, the more you have to make decisions on the fly. This is a general guide for each map, and depending on the specific circumstances of your game, it may be best to not follow certain parts. At the moment, I am not including seasonal maps.

| Map | description |
| Candy | I recommend choosing healer kit for this map. When you are dropped from your cage, start sprinting and do not jump. Jump from your starting island to the sub center island. Place down both of your lucky blocks on the cluster of lucky blocks, and break them. If a different player attempts to attack you, fight back and try to knock them off the map. If you obtain a weapon, eliminate both of your neighboring players if they haven’t been eliminated already. Then, go to middle. Unless a different player is already at middle, you should get to the upper platform. Break the lucky blocks on this platform, ignoring the ones hidden in the center of the cookie, until you are confident in the resources you have obtained. If you still feel that you need more resources, you can break the lucky blocks on the bottom level. I recommend building up to break the rainbow lucky block at the top of the island. If you get an iron pickaxe, you can consider breaking the diamond blocks hidden underneath the staircase. Use the splotches on the donut as an indicator to determine which staircase has the diamond blocks. Eliminate the remaining players in an order you are confident with. If you are unable to find all remaining players, you can use the iron and red stone blocks on the center island to craft a compass. |
| village | I recommend using healer kit for this map. Do not jump or sprint when exiting your cage. Place both of your lucky blocks next to the lucky block that is next to the hay bale cluster. Break all 3 of these lucky blocks, then break the two lucky blocks… |

| Description | Inventor | Skill required(1-5) | Notes |
| If you are fighting an opponent with limited resources and are close to a high drop, you can hit that player off of that drop to kill them while conserving resources | NA | 3 | I highly recommend using this tactic if you are unable to acquire a weapon |
| If you are able to deal high amounts of damage, you can eliminate your opponent’s health in order to use his loot to acquire more resources | NA | 3 | I highly recommend this if you have a melee weapon and are fighting an opponent with valuable loot |
| Break the sea lantern under another player’s grave to quickly obtain all of his loot | NA | 2 | This reduces the chances of you being ambushed while looting someone else’s grave |
| Description | complexity(1-5) | Notes |
| You can use knowledge knowledge to calculate the location of a treasure island relative to your current position by first, determining which direction is positive by using landmarks, asymmetric textures, or /whereami output. Because the X coordinate the center of each map is always a multiple 1000 and the Z coordinate is always approximately 32, you are able to use cardinal directions to find the location of the treasure island relative to your position. | 5 | I recommend practicing this in spectator mode before attempting it in games |

| Map name | basic description | Important details | Images |
| Candy | Contains a giant donut in the center with straits that lead to a cookie platform which contains the map’s rainbow lucky block. There are 4 smaller sub center islands a short distance away on each side, which are cookie shaped and contain a wool platform. On the other sides of the sub center island are the starting islands, which are also donut shaped. Most islands on this map are made of flammable materials, specifically wool and planks. Relative to other maps, gaps between islands are very short. | Contains Iron blocks at center and sub center islands and diamond and red stone blocks at the center island |
|
| Luck | Contains a wide, circular center with its rainbow lucky block in the middle. A long pathway extends away from each side of the center, which is bordered by 3 starting islands. These starting islands have a complex, irregular shape, and are relatively big. This map is mostly made of wool. | Center contains redstone blocks |
|
| Village | A very complex and asymmetrical map. The center has a convex foundation with various houses containing lucky blocks. The map’s rainbow lucky block is located outside near the center. Carrots, water, and hay bales are common throughout the whole map. On each side of the center, there is a sub center island that is long, and curves toward the center island. The gaps between any two sub center islands are relatively short compared to most maps. These sub center is are mostly flat, but contain clusters of oak logs. On the side of the sub center island opposite of the center, there are 3 starting islands. They are each identical to each other, except one of them is reflected. They contain several different levels, including a ground level, a room, and a underground section. | On the starting islands, there is a lucky block inside of the cluster of hay bale blocks. The basements of the starting islands contain coal, iron, and red stone ores |
|
| Food | The most central part of this map consists of two levels. The upper level is highly flammable, convex, and contains the map’s rainbow lucky block. The lower level is flat, and not directly connected to the upper level. Four long, convex platforms are connected to the lower floor of the center. At the end of these platforms are stairs, which connects to an outer part of the center, which is donut shaped. This part is wide and flat, with the exception of four large structures that are halfway between any two of the platforms. | None |
|
| Ruins | The most central part of this map has a flat foundation, with 4 pillars at the corners that connect to a large dome at the top. The map’s rainbow lucky block is in the exact center. 4 convex bridges extend away from the center and connect to the sub center islands, which are also mostly flat. On the other sides of the sub center islands are the starting islands, which contains several floors, including a ground floor, stairs, a basement, and a tall statue. | Sub center islands contain two diamond blocks. The center island contains a diamond block. The bridges each contain 6 tnt. The starting islands contain an iron block and some red stone ore |
|
| Pirate | The most central part of this island is a complex terrain with a large shipwreck in the center, containing the map’s rainbow lucky block. 4 sub center islands connect with the center island by 3 bridges for each sub center island. Sub center islands are flat, and shaped like an uppercase E. Next to sub center islands are corner islands, which are small and flat. There are also 3 starting islands next to each sub center island opposite of the bridges. These starting islands are small and flat, and contain a small upper area that can be accessed with scaffolding. | The middle bridges that connect to sub center islands have wooden pressure plates that activate tnt when stepped on. The pirate ship in the center contains gold, iron, lapis, and red stone blocks. On the center island outside the ship are 3 X shaped markings of red concrete powder. 1 of these 3 markings contains a trapped chest and 6 tnt underneath it. The X that contains the chest and tnt is randomized each game. |
|
| Vortex | The center of this map contains two floors, which are both shaped like a spiral that has 12 arms. The lower floor is slightly rotated so its arms are between the arms of the upper floor. These arms are relatively flat, thin, and curved to the side slightly. The center of both of these spirals is hollow, and the map’s rainbow lucky block is floating here. Two spiral staircases connect the upper and lower floors. At the end of each arm on the upper spiral is a starting island. The base of each starting island is flat, however there is a clump of blocks at the back of it. The island is small and contains very few lucky blocks. | The upper floor contains enchanting tables |
|
| Honey | The center of this map contains 3 floors. The ground floor is very wide, flat, and slightly concave. It is the base of a beehive in the center, which contains the other 2 floors The second floor is hollow in the center and surrounded by walls and a ceiling. It contains the map’s rainbow lucky block. The third floor is otherwise identical, except it contains a diamond block instead. All floors of the beehive have openings on the walls that can be entered, and are connected by two glow berry vines in the center. The center and corners of the center island contain honey blocks. On the sides of the center are bridges of honey blocks that connect the center with the first set of sub center islands. At the corners of the center are walls of honey blocks that extend between the center and the second set of subcenter islands. The first set of sub center islands are flat octograms with hollow centers and trees at the end of two of its points. The edge of the hollow center is made of honey blocks, and there is a tiny island in the hollow center containing an iron block, a crafting table, and 5 lucky blocks. The second set of sub center are slightly smaller islands are between the first set, and are slightly higher in elevation. They are flat hexagrams and contain a honeycomb hut in the center, which contains a gold block and some lucky blocks. At the 3 sides of the first set of sub center islands that don’t contain the honey bridge lead to the starting islands. These islands are circular, flat, and contain a tree and some clumps of honey blocks. | The center island contains a diamond block. The first set of sub center islands contains an iron block. The second set of sub center islands contains a gold block |
|
| Nether | The center of this map is flat and wide. In the middle of the center island is a diamond block, a smithing table, and the map’s rainbow lucky block. To the sides are some platforms that can be climbed up to by warped vines, and some stairs that lead to a small area. Around these stairs is lava, magma blocks, gold blocks, and a smithing table containing a bucket and a stack of ancient debris. Next to the two longest sides of the center island are clusters of smaller islands. These islands are thin, and mostly made of magma blocks, except around the edges. Some of them have pillars on them that can be climbed and walked across by using warped vines. On the opposite sides of the island clusters are the sub center islands. The main sub center islands are round, flat, and have two floors, the first floor is bigger and has magma blocks at its edge. The upper floor is smaller and can be accessed by warped vines. On all 4 sides of the main sub center islands are bridge islands. They are flat, and contain pillars on two of their sides. The 6 bridge islands that don’t lead to the island clusters have two starting islands on the opposite side of them. These islands are small, but have many floors, including a tree that can be climbed, and a house with an attic and a basement which can both be accessed by warped vines. | The center island contains gold blocks, a diamond block, and blast furnaces containing a bucket and a stack of ancient debris. |
|
| Pond | The center island of this map has a very big, flat, and round base that contains the map’s rainbow lucky block in the center. On all sides of the island are pairs of slime towers. Across the entire island is a massive statue of a frog that can be easily scaled. On the sides of the center island are sub center islands, which are small, and contain a slime tower in the center. Next to the 3 other sides of the sub center islands are starting islands, which are round at flat in the center. Each island contains a small clump of blocks, which has 4 slime towers next to it and two small holes. | none |
